Failed to parse metric datadog.tracer.flush_duration

[vesquen]

Hi Team

I wanted to report an error that's being logged very frequently. We're using the latest version v67 (Next-generation Lambda Extension).

DD_EXTENSION | ERROR | Failed to parse metric datadog.tracer.flush_duration:0.785551|ms|#lang:go,lang_version:go1.23.2,env:<redacted>,_dd.origin:lambda,runtime-id:<redacted>,tracer_version:v1.70.1,service:<redacted>,env:<redacted>,service:<redacted>,version:<redacted>: parse failure: Invalid metric format

Version of dd-lambda-go: v1.20.0.

Is there anything we can do here in the short term? No error when using DD_EXTENSION_VERSION: compatibility.

Thank you, kind regards

Hi again.

I wanted to check if there is a way to disable the extension logs for now or any other workaround. DD_LOG_LEVEL: OFF doesn't seem to work and the log volume generated by this is huge.

Thanks fore reporting it!
It seems to be indeed just a log issue. The fix DataDog/libdatadog#777 is ready and it will be release as soon as possible

Hi Team,
I just wanted to clarify if the release will fully fix the parsing issue or if it will only stop logging the error?

We’re currently experiencing a similar issue in our AWS Lambda function (using .NET) with Histogram metrics. Here’s an example of the error we’re seeing:
DD_EXTENSION | ERROR | Failed to parse metric lambda.process_time:359|h|#application:Lambda: parse failure: Invalid metric format

Hey, this warnings should have been muted on @alexgallotta's PR in the latest v68.

@alexgallotta will update further on @velikoff question soon, he currently is OOO
